Sarah Hammarlund
Teaching Assistant Professor
Biology Teaching and Learning
My research centers around students' sense of belonging in STEM courses, anti-racist teaching of genetics, and improving instruction of sex and gender within biology. Along with collaborators, I've written a new edition of the textbook for BIOL 1003: The Evolution and Biology of Sex.
Research statement
My biology education research centers around both students' sense of belonging in STEM courses and how students incorporate mathematical ideas into their biology learning. My background is in ecology, evolution, and behavior, where I've explored mutualistic interactions between different species of bacteria. I find mutual reliance -- both in education and in biology -- to be endlessly fascinating.
